Summary Site Location North of Ennerdale Bridge, Cumbria (NY 070510 6160) Proposals It is proposed to develop the site for residential use, to incorporate 11 residential properties, including landscape planting, comprising tree and hedgerow planting, and an access route from Kirkland Road. Existing Site No existing survey reports or planning applications were available for the Information site at the time of writing. Scope of this To identify any potential ecological constraints to the proposed Survey(s) development, assess any likely impacts on ecological aspects of the site, to make recommendations for further ecological survey work (if required), to propose recommendations for the avoidance and mitigation of any impacts and to identify opportunities for enhancement of the site where appropriate. Results The following potential constraints to the development were identified during the survey: Designated sites: River Ehen SAC and SSSI 0.26km SW of the site and potentially indirectly connected via a culvert at the southern end of the site. Habitats of Principal Importance: Hedgerow (Hedgerow 1) present along eastern boundary of the site. Bats: Grassland of negligible to low suitability for foraging bats. Although Hedgerow 1 may provide a suitable commuting/foraging route. Two trees of ‘low’ roost suitability located at the southern end of Hedgerow 1. No buildings present. Red squirrel: Potential for red squirrel commuting and foraging along Hedgerow 1, no dreys present. Badger, Otter and Pine Marten: Limited potential for all species, most likely badger to occasionally move through the site. Nesting birds: Potential for nesting birds in the grassland and in Hedgerow 1. Common toad, hedgehog, polecat and brown hare: Potential foraging habitat for these species present within the site. Recommendations Further Surveys None required Mitigation/compensation Designated sites: Design of the drainage scheme to incorporate silt traps and oil interceptors to reduce the sediment and pollutant load of the surface water discharge to a level which would be highly unlikely to cause a significant negative effect on the Genesis Homes Ltd 1 January 2018 A103748 Land Adjacent to Kirkland Road, Ennerdale: Ecological Appraisal qualifying features of the River Ehen SAC and interest features of the SSSI; On-site treatment plant for foul sewage must meet water quality specified in EA Permit to discharge which will be defined to protect any risk of significant water quality effects on the receiving SAC watercourse, both in terms of alone contribution and in- combination effects with existing discharges to the River Ehen; and Limit discharges of treated and surface water drainage to normal greenfield rates. Designated sites and habitats: Develop a CEMP, covering mitigation measures and suitable working practices to protect retained habitats within the site and off-site habitats, including a species-rich road verge and hedgerow on the eastern side of Kirkland Road. Habitats: Translocation of section of Hedgerow 1 to be removed, with standard trees planted at each end of the translocated sections, to offset the creation of the site access and water treatment works maintenance access. Species-rich hedges with native standard trees of local provenance along the north-western and western boundaries of the site and surrounding the water treatment plant to be provided through the landscape scheme. Wildflower grassland edges to the water treatment plant to be provided through the landscape scheme. Bats: Mitigation for habitat

    LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOUNDARY COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND REVIEW SUBMISSION ON WARDING ARRANGEMENTS EXECUTIVE MEMBER: Councillor David Moore LEAD OFFICER: Pat Graham, Managing Director REPORT AUTHOR: Tim Capper, Boundary Review Project Officer SUMMARY: Seeks agreement from Council to a submission to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England on warding and boundary arrangements in connection with the current review of the Council’s electoral arrangements RECOMMENDATIONS: That the wards and boundaries as set out in Appendix “A” and the accompanying plans be approved as the Council’s submission to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England in this phase of the review 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Council at its meeting on 1 October 2015 agreed to ask the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) to review the electoral arrangements of the Council. 1.2 LGBCE has already determined in the preliminary phase of the review that the total number of Councillors to be elected to the Council in future (Council size) will be 33. The present phase of the review will determine new ward boundaries, the number of Councillors to be elected for each ward, and ward names. LGBCE has invited the Council to submit proposals to them on warding by 12 February 2018, along with a wide range of other local stakeholders including, for example, parish councils. 2 WARDING – STATUTORY CRITERIA 2.1 In considering warding arrangements, Members need to be aware of the statutory criteria by which LGBCE are bound in deciding on warding arrangements. These are: Delivering electoral equality for local voters – meaning ensuring that each councillor represents roughly the same number of electors so that the value of the elector’s vote is the same regardless of where in the Borough an elector lives.

    Mapping the Late Medieval and Post Medieval Landscape of Cumbria Two Volumes Volume 1: Text Caron Egerton Newman Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History, Classics and Archaeology Newcastle University Submitted: June 2014 Abstract This study is an analysis of the development of rural settlement patterns and field systems in Cumbria from the later medieval period through to the late eighteenth century. It uses documentary, cartographic and archaeological evidence. This evidence is interpreted utilising the techniques of historic landscape characterisation (HLC), map regression and maps created by the author, summarising and synthesising historical and archaeological data. The mapped settlement data, in particular, has been manipulated using tools of graphic analysis available within a Graphical Information System (GIS). The initial product is a digital map of Cumbria in the late eighteenth century, based on the county-scale maps of that period, enhanced with information taken from enclosure maps and awards, and other post medieval cartographic sources. From this baseline, an interpretation of the late medieval landscape was developed by adding information from other data sources, such as place names and documentary evidence. The approach was necessarily top-down and broad brush, in order to provide a landscape-scale, sub-regional view. This both addresses the deficiencies within the standard historical approach to landscape development, and complements such approaches. Standard historical approaches are strong on detail, but can be weak when conclusions based on localised examples are extrapolated and attributed to the wider landscape. The methodology adopted by this study allows those local analyses to be set within a broader landscape context, providing another tool to use alongside more traditional approaches to historic landscape studies.
